D. FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS

TEST — Allows the operator to test the integrity of the weight display by sequentially

lighting each segment of all digits, all segments, and each arrow indicator. These results

show that all drivers and displays operate in both the on and the off conditions.

PRESET — The DWM-IV provides up to eight (8) outputs which may be used to control

solid state relays. The system may be configured for three (3) two-speed or six (6) single-

speed, cascaded setpoints. In addition, zero interlock and FILL COMPLETE outputs are

provided which, when used with additional, external hardware, may be used to simplify

batching operations. Enter the weight value desired for each preset starting with number

zero through to number three (3) or six (6). The zero interlock preset is number zero. If it

is desired to merely view the presets already in memory, simply press [ENTER] without

pressing any numeric buttons or [CLEAR]. The weight values will be displayed from

zero (0) to three (3) or six (6) then return to normal weight display mode.

DRIBBLE — The value entered as the dribble amount is subtracted from the final

setpoint (PRESET-PREACT) and this amount is the fast feed cut-off setpoint. It

represents the amount of material desired to be filled at the slow rate. The values are

entered in the manner as described for PRESET above where number one (1) corresponds

to PRESET number one (1) above, etc. This function is only active if the two-speed

configuration has been selected.

PREACT — Enter the value of weight that is to be subtracted from the preset value in

computing the final cut-off value for the output. This value represents the amount of in-

flight material.

T/D — This function allows the operator to enter the current time and date for print-out

purposes. The time and date option must be installed and enabled for this feature to be

operative.
